Lasagna Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Make the Pasta
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs and olive oil. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, brown the ground beef or sausage over medium heat. Drain any excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce and let simmer for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, and black pepper.

Roll Out the Pasta
Divide the rested dough into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets (about 1/16 inch thick) using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into sheets that fit your baking dish.

Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread some marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer pasta sheets, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of basil. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pasta and marinara sauce topped with mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan.
